We loved our Uncle Paulie from the Rocky Film series…but did you know Burt Young appeared on the hit TV show M*A*S*H! Yes! It’s true…Burt played Lieutenant Willis on the episode “L.I.P.”! 
Willis is a C.I.D. officer from Tokyo who comes to the 4077th MASH to investigate the application of Corporal Walker to marry a local Korean woman. Walker is in a hurry to get approval because he is due to be posted back to the U.S. and wants to marry the girl and bring her and their child back home. Upon arrival at the camp, Willis first goes to the Swamp to interview Hawkeye about Walker’s background. Hawkeye wants to delay the session until the next day because he has a date set up with Lieutenant Regina Hoffman but Willis is insistent so Hawkeye has to send Klinger to keep Regina occupied while he attends to Willis. After asking Hawkeye a lot of questions, he tells Hawkeye he doesn’t see any case for leapfrogging procedure or expediting the application. Hawkeye has, however, been anticipating this, and has been plying Willis with martinis. Willis, who has been enjoying the drinks, keeps asking for more until he passes out.
